Dealt with SO Group for many years now, and we have been more than pleased with the level of service supplied both on cardboard collections and in the way of office support. We would recommend! Thanks SO Group!

Report
I was delighted with the service and would definitely use So Recycle again. The bags are super-sturdy and it's good to know they go straight into the shredder with confidential papers securely inside. Very polite and helpful driver, who collected them on time. Also very nice to speak to a real person on the phone when you call the company. Highly recommended.
